Customizing webinar registration
You can customize the registration process for webinars, such as approving attendees, enabling email notifications for registrations, adding a tracking pixel, and adding registration questions.
You can also customize the look of your registration page with branding or track traffic to your registration page by setting up source tracking. If using manual approval, you will need to manage your registrants and may need to resend email confirmations.

Prerequisites for customizing webinar registration
How to manage Registration Settings

Registration tab
- In the Registration window, click the Registration tab.
You'll have access to the following registration options:
- In the Registration section, choose if registration and payment are required:
- Required: If Registration is enabled, attendees will be required to complete a form before they can join the webinar. If this option is unchecked, attendees can join by entering their names and email addresses when they visit the webinar URL at the time of the webinar.
- Charge Registration fee through PayPal: After checking this, you can set how many registrants will be charged and confirm the paid to email address. This must be first configured by an account admin.
- In the Approval section, choose the type of approval process:
- Automatically Approve: Users will have to register for the Webinar in advance and will be given options to join directly after. The host can deny attendees after they have registered.
- Manually Approve: Users will have to register for the webinar in advance and will only be given options to join after the host approves their registration.
- In the Notification section, choose if you would like to receive email notifications:
- Send an email to host when someone registers: Check this option if you want to receive an email when someone registers for your webinar. Attendees will receive an email when you approve their registration.
- In the Other options section, configure other webinar registration options:
- Restrict number of registrants: Check this option to restrict the number of people who can register for the webinar. Once the webinar has the specified number of registrants, anyone who tries to register will be notified that the webinar is at capacity.
- Allow attendees to join from multiple devices: Check this option to allow webinar attendees to be able to join from multiple devices, such as computers and phones.
- Show join info on registration confirmation page: The join info is displayed on the confirmation web page if the user registers less than 60 minutes before the meeting starts or if the meeting is already in progress. Displaying this info means that the user can join the session without verifying that the email address used to register belongs to them.
- Show social share buttons on registration page: Check this to show Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and email share buttons on your registration page for easy sharing.
- Enable Disclaimer: Allows you to add a customizable text at the bottom of the registration page, with an optional link. Can be used to direct registrants to your privacy policy or other relevant info.
- In the Tracking Pixel section, configure a webinar tracking pixel (for example, Facebook tracking pixel) to keep track of how many users visit your registration page and successfully complete registration.
Note: To use this feature, your admin must enable it.
- Add to registration page (Optional): Enter the URL of your tracking pixel(s) for visits to your registration page.
- Add to registration successful page (Optional): Enter the URL of your tracking pixel(s) for visits to your registration successful page.
